Finally, it was the 1st of August, so I received the rewards for the part-time job. 7 points which I could distribute myself and a potion that would give me 10 stats of my choices for 24 hours. Since it was the first one I owned, I decided to come up with a proper use for this baby. I shook the container around, the liquid looked artificially yellow. Sure I could use it in a future fight if needed, but maybe there is a more clever way I could think of? I started to ponder about this and remembered moms lucky points.

"What if I make mom drink it instead, and once she does I can convince her to play the lotto." With such high luck, she was bound to win something right? The only tricky thing was, how would I convince her to drink something so unappetizing looking? Maybe I could pour it into some other drink, would it work? I decided to leave this master plan when my parents came back from their trip.

I added the points to my current stats and again I decided to increase Intelligence and Luck the most. Sure now I wasn't in school, but it felt assuring to have high Intelligence stats. The stats were as follows.

Intelligence: 22

Luck: 22

Endurance: 21

Agility: 21

Strength: 21

Perfect, but as soon I completed adding the points another mission emerged.

'Would you rather stay another month at your current job or find another one at a convenience store?' I quickly glanced at the rewards, leaving this job would give me an additional bonus stat. However I didn't feel like bothering seeking new employment, so I clicked on the first option and gave my manager a quick call.

"I finally came to a conclusion." He sounded nervous on the other end.

"I decided to stay for another month." He cheered on the other side and we decided to extend the contract tomorrow for another month. Once the call ended I got reminded of the mysterious Pixie dust, would it by chance allow me to fly, but that sounded too bizarre to be true. I opened my inventory and read the description.

"Pixie dust, a glittery powder gifted by the fairies to knock out any human being for 12 hours straight. No matter what you do after they won't be able to wake up until the clock has run out." Great just great, what was even this description? I just sighed, but suddenly realized something. I could sleep at Yuzuha's place if she allows me that is. Moreover, if Taiju goes off the rails I can just knock him out with the Pixie dust. I started to laugh like an evil villain planning world destruction, causing Kazutora to hear me from his room and come over asking.

"What's going on?" He looked around like he was expecting someone to be there.

"Oh... I sometimes do find myself talking to myself, there is no one here." He didn't seem to know how to react.

"And the laugh?" He ask as he had never done it himself before, wasn't that normal?

"Preparing a deliberate plan to annoy someone's ass." We stared at each other as he gently asked.

"It's not my ass right?"

"No." he sighed with relief and left my room. I was about to proceed to track back to my previous thoughts on what I would do to annoy Taiju's ass now when I had an ace up my sleeve, but Cupid started to claw at the window and meow.

"If you run away again I won't ever listen to your requests." But he was persistent so I decided to have a look at what was going on. Mikey and Draken were at Takemichi's house destroying things left and right. Poor Takemichi and his memories. I opened the window and Cupid just sat there licking his paw. Watching this made me feel like I was looking at a movie so much so I sighed sadden that there was no popcorn in my hands to munch on. I saw the destroyed objects and then Takemichi getting enraged. I thought he had all the reason to be furious at them for destroying his belongings, rather than sitting down and talking like normal people. But then again they were still children so no wonder they were acting so immature.

Of course, I got to witness the poop on Takemichi's head incident, which made me wonder how did poop come into the trash? What was that all about? When they moved somewhere else more open, I decided to close the window after the entire show was over, but Cupid seemed to have other plans because he leaped from the window again.

"Yo! Get back!" Whose items was he planning to steal this time? I ran after the cat not believing this little gremlin, that's when we reached Takemichi and the rest of the group sitting there and talking, even Hinata and Emma were present.

Cupid suddenly stopped so did I, and he looked at me smugly. This reminded me of something, like a gunfight in the wild west, so I said.

"There can be only one sheriff in this town." We stared at each other until I pretended to whip out a gun and shot it. Cupid fell like he was dead as I tipped my invincible cowboy hat. I heard the guys roar in laughter as Takemichi asked.

"Did you train him to do that?" I shook my head, as this wasn't staged, I came up with it on the spot. But when I wasn't paying attention Cupid suddenly leaped onto Mikey and stole his sandal, I couldn't do anything but facepalm.

"I knew he was up to something," I spoke, but unlike what usually took place, with Cupid going back home to hide the item inside my room. He actually waltzed all happy back to me gifting me the sandal.

"Thanks, I hate it."

"What's so bad about my sandals?" Mikey asked, crossing his arms in dissatisfaction. I just returned the sandal to him not answering his question, then it looked like Cupid was planning to make Draken his next target so I scooped him up and explained really slow and carefully.

"I understand Cupid you think this is a nice catch, but the tall beanpole is already taken, meaning off-limits." This cat was giving me an attitude.

"Excuse me?" Draken asked shocked at what I just said.

"He was about to steal from you as well, don't you see those mischievous eyes target locking you?" Emma then added.

"Yes, he's taken by me." Causing them both to blush, I gave her a thumbs up. Then the cat meowed at me.

"No, we don't consider Mikey a catch." Mikey looked confused at Draken so he would explain my alien language to him.

"No, I don't know what she is talking about either."

"You don't have to, girls are allowed to have their little secrets." Emma just laughed at me.

Once I whispered to Cupid that Mikey was only seen as a baby he waltzed to Takuya and put his paw on his leg gently.

"I allow that." He looked at me confused, but Makoto just smirked and hit his back.

"Lucky~" I guess he got the gist of what was happening. That's when I was dragged by Hinata and Emma as if they wanted to eagerly discuss something.

"You know that on the 3rd of August there be a festival?" I nodded my head, being aware of the fact.

"Why don't you ask someone to go with you? You know like a date?" I gave it some thought but decided the best option would be to just ask big bro to tag along. I never went to a Japanese festival, and Kazu-chan probably barely got to spend time there with family.

"I will ask my brother to tag along." I guess someone was eavesdropping.

"You have a brother?" Mikey asked as I nodded my head proud to announce it.

"Do we know him?" He asked, I wasn't sure why they cared so much.

"I mean Keisuke knows him so.." I just shrugged how was I supposed to know?

"What's his name?" Mikey had a lot of questions today I see.

"Kazutora." Draken and Mikey both stared at me in disbelief.

"Like Kazutora Hanemiya?" I shook my head.

"That was his name in the past, now he's called Kazutora Hirabayashi." Their mouths kept on opening and closing, and they did it a couple of times.

"You guys okay?" They probably needed some time to progress this.

"I mean it's still not official but dad said he would whoop the court's ass this month and make it happen."

"So how did it ensue?" Draken asked as I explained.

"We decided that Kazu-chan needed more love and attention so we kidnapped him, being his extended family I believe we have the right to do so." Draken just sighed, but then he worryingly said.

"I think you should be careful around him, he can be a little bit violent." Wow, it was fascinating to witness Draken worrying about my well-being when I usually was here annoying him.

"He's already seeking the help he needs, don't worry." I then muttered to myself.

"And I will keep the pesky bugs away from him." Which meant Kisaki and his troublesome tongue. Draken raised his brow as Mikey stopped listening and went to play soccer with Takuya and Akkun, he probably didn't know what to do with this information.

'Would you rather mention how Ken Ryuguji saw you as a friend or mess with Ken Ryuguji's hair?' The first option for certain.

"I'm flattered that your think of me so dearly, is this a sign of our growing friendship?" Draken got irritated at my comment, so I hid behind Emma-chan.

"Your tall beanpole is angry at me once more," I mentioned.

"Maybe if you stopped teasing him, you two may have gotten along better." I shook my head.

"My favorite pastime is annoying tall people, it's in my blood, there is nothing I can... he could always shrink a little if he wanted me to stop." Takemichi then asked.

"Are you really telling him to get rid of his height?" I nodded.

"Please stop, I like him the way he is." Emma was out here protecting her favorite beanpole.

"Stop being so cheesy. You make the single people feel lonely." Emma then decided to bring Keisuke's name into the conversation.

"I'm positive that if you ask Baji on a date he will agree." I narrowed my eyes at her.

"I will not ask any Keisuke or Beisuke on a date, stop suggesting it gurl. If you like him so much dump the beanpole and ask him out yourself."

"Hey!" Draken yelled and put Emma in a protective hug. I decided to shift the topic.

"Right I'm planning to have a sleepover so don't make too many plans on the 6th of August, you and you are coming to my house, you can't refuse." I pointed my finger at Emma and then Hinata. Emma agreed as I decided to scoop up Cupid and return home to ask Kazutora when he wanted to prepare his sleepover.

"How about the day after yours?" he asked as I nodded.

"I was planning to have it on the day our parents will go.. so yours be on the 7th on Sunday, sounds good?" Kazutora agreed and I decided to inquire who would be coming over.

"So who are you planning to invite besides Keisuke and Chifuyu?" He gave it some thought.

"Mitsuya?" I was surprised to hear his name, maybe he was indeed getting much better, but not much so that he would dare to ask either Draken or Mikey over.

"Chome and Chonbo." I had to recall who they were, weren't they from Valhalla? Was this okay? Maybe because Kazutora hasn't joined Valhalla neither have they.

The rest of the day was spent by watching movies with Kazutora and figuring out things we needed to buy for the sleepovers.

Emma, Chifuyu and Kazutora are probably eager supporters of the Keisuke x Michi ship *^*
